IMPROVED VESSEL ANASTOMOSIS CLIPS AND RELATED METHODS OF USE

摘要

A surgical instrument system for anastomosis of first vessel and second vessel, the surgical instrument including an actuator assembly having distal and proximal ends, a head, and a clip seat, the head and clip seat being detachably mounted to the distal end of the actuator assembly. This device enables anastomosis to be with one action of squeeze with reduced risk of thrombosis, stenosis and time of operation. A surgical instrument of the present invention has the capability to be used in minimally invasive surgery when anastomosis is required through a small surgical excision. Anastomosis capable with embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, end-to-end and end-to-side connections.
